The Hudson Players, have announced their 64th season and it promises
something for everyone. Beginning with a great mystery-comedy that's sure to
amuse and confuse, continuing with a flashback never before seen
double-header of a musical and then finishing with a classic, fun, favorite,
musical comedy, Hudson's long running community theater troupe promises not
to disappoint audiences with their exciting 2008-09 season. (Season Tickets
are currently available at www.hudsonplayers.com)

 

It begins with ACCOMPLICE by Rupert Holmes. This twisty, sure to fool and
amuse mystery-comedy will be presented November 7, 8, 14, 15, 21 & 22 and
will be directed by Claudia Lillibridge and produced by Marianne Karlson.
Auditions to be held September 14 & 15 at the Barlow Community Center at 7
p.m. Not recommended for children, this mystery of a mystery takes place on
a rainy night and features love, lust, jealousy, greed and revenge.
ACCOMPLICE will keep you guessing who is killing whom? For whom? And who is
whom anyway? This audacious twist on the twisted mystery plot is a plot
within a plot within a play within a plot.  Or is it a play within a plot
with a plot within a play.or is it.simply too much fun? Theater goers are
encouraged to just give up guessing and enjoy the wickedly funny ride.

 

Following this will be the back to back, fun 50's musical journey that is
THE TAFFETAS and THE CARDIGANS (director still to be determined). Presented
February 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 27 & 28 and written by Rick Lewis, these
two popular musicals are being assembled together as a single evening's
entertainment for the first time ever! (Auditions to be held November 16 &
17.) Join Kaye, Peggy, Cheryl and Donna, four singing sisters from Muncie,
Indiana as they reminisce about making their national television singing
debut. THE TAFFETAS pay tribute to the sounds of The McGuire Sisters, The
Fontane Sisters and The Chordettes. Opening Off-Broadway almost two years
before "Forever Plaid," THE TAFFETAS prove to be an irresistible evening and
remind you what Sunday night television was like in black and white! They
then introduce THE CARDIGANS, who hail from Wooster, Ohio - the College of
Wooster, to be exact! Join the boys as they reminisce about their college
days, their ex-girlfriends, their childhoods as sons of Protestant
ministers, and their fame as singing idols. They'll sing some of the
greatest hits of the 1950's - songs you know and love and that they recorded
on their first album, "Wooster in my Heart."  THE CARDIGANS is music, fun
and harmony. Winner of the 1990 New York Bistro Award For Outstanding
Musical Revue!


Finally, the Hudson Players will close their 2008-09 season with the classic
musical fable that is GUYS AND DOLLS directed by Rich Jagunic and produced
by Trish Davis and Gary Maher. With performances being held April 24, 25,
May 1, 2, 8, 8, 10, 15 & 16, and auditions March 1 & 2, many say that this
show is the perfect musical comedy.  Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York
City, this oddball romantic and comedic event soars with the spirit of
Broadway as it introduces us to a cast of vivid characters who have become
legends in musical theater history. Nathan, Sky, Adelaide, Sarah sing
through such hits as "Luck Be A Lady," "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat"
and more. There is plenty of excitement, but everything works out in the
end, thanks to the machinations of Abe Burrows and Jo Swerling's hilarious,
fast-paced book and Frank Loesser's bright, brassy, immortal score, which
takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, Cuba, and
even into the sewers of New York City. Funny, fast paced and romantic, Guys
And Dolls is ideal for audiences of any age.
